Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

Chapter 360: Sword Intent Annihilating Star Seas, True Immortal

At that very moment, countless realizations suddenly surged through Tian Yongheng’s mind like a roaring flood.The truths hidden behind the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Severing Law were finally completely unveiled before him.

His gaze instantly turned incomparably cold.

So that was the case...

Back then, after regaining the memories of his previous life and activating the system, his Five-Elemental Spiritual Body had evolved into the Five-Elemental Divine Spiritual Physique.

At that moment, he had already defied the predetermined fate set upon him by the Heavenly Dao.

And the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Severing Law was nothing more than punishment, a shackle imposed by the Heavenly Dao.

Its purpose was not merely suppression, it sought to gradually erase his humanity completely until he eventually became an emotionless existence detached from all mortal desires.

An existence incapable of threatening heaven and earth, like a machine with no will of its own.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng finally understood just how terrifying that law originally was.

If not for his numerous heaven-defying Connate Providences protecting his essence and soul, he would have long become a cold puppet devoid of emotions.

The Sword Heart, the Primordial Bones, the Primordial Meridians, the Jade Pure Bloodline, and the Five-Elemental Divine Spiritual Physique.

Those supreme Connate Providences had jointly resisted the erosion of the Heavenly Dao for centuries.

That was why although Tian Yongheng could not properly express emotions outwardly before, he still retained emotions within his heart.

Otherwise... the current him would no longer be himself.

A terrifying fury gradually surged within Tian Yongheng’s chest.

The surrounding heavens instantly darkened further.

The endless Immortal Tribulation clouds violently churned as though sensing his fury, and countless black lightning dragons roared between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng slowly raised his head toward the sky.

His cold eyes seemed capable of piercing through the Heavenly Dao itself.

Then, his figure slowly floated upward from the ruined Tian Family estate.

Step by step, he ascended into the sky beneath the endless tribulation clouds.

The white robes fluttered wildly around him, an indescribable pressure gradually spreading outward.

At this moment, the countless Half Immortals and Vagrant Immortals observing this scene through Divine Sense all felt their hearts trembling uncontrollably.

Because Tian Yongheng’s aura was still rapidly rising.

It had already surpassed the limits of ordinary Vagrant Immortals.

And yet, it still had not stopped.

The surrounding heavenly rules and worldly laws continuously shattered apart around him.

The very foundation of the world seemed unable to withstand his existence anymore.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng finally spoke.

His voice was calm, but underneath that calmness was an arrogance capable of overturning eternity itself.

"Since the Heavenly Dao wishes to sever my emotions and desires..."

The surrounding void instantly cracked apart.

Tian Yongheng slowly raised one hand toward the endless heavens above.

"Then it is only right that it experiences my power as well."

*Boom!*

At that instant, immeasurable Sword Intent suddenly erupted from Tian Yongheng’s body.

The entire Eastern Continent was shaken!

Not just that, even the stars within the universe trembled faintly!

This was no longer the Supreme Sword Intent alone, nor was it any heavenly sword technique.

This was the Sword of Humanity!

A sword forged from the will of countless living beings.

The joys and sorrows of humanity.

The struggles, hatred, hope, despair, love, life, and death of all mortal beings condensed into a single sword capable of contending against heaven, contending against fate, contending against myriads of Immortals!

At this moment, Tian Yongheng finally unleashed its true power completely for the first time.

A dazzling sword light instantly pierced through heaven and earth!

*BOOM!!!*

The endless Immortal Tribulation clouds exploded apart instantly, not dispersed or suppressed, but directly annihilated!

The terrifying Sword Intent tore open a gigantic hole throughout the skies, literally.

The surrounding space instantly shattered into endless void.

The entire Jiangnan Region nearly collapsed on the spot.

If Tian Yongheng had not restrained the majority of the sword’s power at the final moment, the entire Jiangnan would have been instantly reduced to nothingness.

The sword light continued surging upward unstoppably.

It blasted through the atmosphere of the Second Great Mortal World and rushed into the boundless universe beyond.

Wherever that boundless sword light passed, entire sea of stars vanished before ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators’ thoughts could even process.

Ancient stars exploded apart one after another like fragile candles before the Sword Intent.

Countless celestial bodies were erased from existence completely.

Only after reaching the very edge of the universe containing the Second Great Mortal World did the sword light finally begin dissipating.

If it had continued even slightly further, it would have directly pierced open the universe barrier and blasted into the Outer Void.

At this moment, countless hidden Vagrant Immortals throughout the Outer Void were scared out of their wits, horrified expressions appearing on their faces.

"This..."

"Impossible..."

"How could a newly ascended Vagrant Immortal possess such terrifying power?!"

Several ancient Vagrant Immortals even felt their scalps go numb.

That sword earlier...

Genuinely possessed the power to threatened their lives.

And that too with just a trace of its lingering Sword Intent.

And yet Tian Yongheng had only just broken through.

...

At this moment, beneath the shattered heavens of Jiangnan Region, Tian Yongheng quietly stood amidst endless fragments of lightning and void.

The surrounding heavenly pressure had already completely disappeared, the shattered tribulation clouds no longer regenerating.

The Heavenly Dao had been forcefully suppressed by that sword strike.

At this moment, the aura around Tian Yongheng finally stabilized completely.

However, something fundamental had changed about him.

Not just his cultivation realm or life level, but his state of existence, his race itself.

Previously, even as a Virtual True Immortal, he still fundamentally belonged to the category of mortals, a human being who had yet to truly transcend mortality.

But now, the shackles binding humanity had completely shattered apart.

A vast ancient aura gradually spread from Tian Yongheng’s body.

It carried an indescribable nobility, a pressure originating from the deepest roots of existence.

At this moment, every living being throughout the Jiangnan Region instinctively felt a faint urge to kneel.

Tian Yongheng was no longer merely human, nor had he transformed into a Heavenly Human like ordinary Vagrant Immortals.

Instead, he had become something far more ancient and powerful.

A True Immortal.

An existence comparable to the primordial True Dragons, True Phoenixes, True Qilins, Three-Legged Golden Crows, and True Devils born at the dawn of heaven and earth.

The ancient ancestors of the Human Race, existences capable of contending directly against heaven and earth for authority over creation.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng slowly lowered his gaze toward his own hand.

The surrounding void instinctively distorted around his fingers.

He could clearly feel it.

Everything had changed.

The current him truly no longer needed the approval of heaven and earth to exist.

This... was a True Immortal.
